W małym teksańskim miasteczku mieszka Bernie. Wszyscy go uwielbiają, jest wzorowym chrześcijaninem, dobrym sąsiadem i porządnym obywatelem. Pracuje jako grabarz i gdy zaprzyjaźnia się z wyjątkowo nieuprzejmą i dopiero co owdowiałą Marjorie, nikogo to nie dziwi. Spędzają razem każdą wolną chwilę, do czasu kiedy Marjorie znika w tajemniczych okolicznościach. Mieszkańcy niestety podejrzewają Berniego... (Polsat)

In my opinion, these authors just didn’t know how low they should go to make the weirdest possible movie based on real-life events. At the beginning, I’d been informed that I would be introduced to the real characters at the end. And when I saw them, I really believed that all of that has truly happened. Jack Black played his part perfectly. The whole thing isn’t really that funny, it’s just a ton of weird things going on. And the strangest thing is Bernie himself. All those references to Texans were really funny – but the bastardized English and the triumph of rednecks over humanity? Not so much.

Of all the offered coffin models, the most expensive for him was the freezer in the garage. I don't think undertaker Bernie Tiede was driven by gerontophilia or calculation; he just wanted to live the high life closer to the Lord. The material is tailor-made for the Coen brothers, but since Texans know the most about Texas, Linklater took it on. Jack Black's numerous musical interludes are offset by the crazy aesthetics of office, diner, and living room decor, and the boldly chosen concept of combining mockumentary and dark comedy brings it to a finale where attitudes go hand in hand with influenced judgment. After all, I judge that Carthage must be destroyed.

Richard Linklater always manages to get me with the specific form he gives his films. This time it's a fusion of fiction and documentary, where you probably won't even realize the presence of real documentary elements until the end credits arrive. Until then, you might think it's all part of the same game. And it is, but it's more sophisticated than one would think. Oh, and I have to give it up for Jack Black!
